Why Guests Consistently Rate Us 5 Stars

Unfiltered feedback on what makes our mountain homestay truly unforgettable.

Genuine Pahadi Host Warmth

Naman and his family treat every traveler as a personal household guest rather than an anonymous booking ID. From arranging personalized bonfire evenings to guiding guests on secluded forest treks.

Authentic Wood-Chulha Dining

Slow-simmered Kumaoni meals cooked over oak embers using organic local ingredients: Bhatt ki Churkani, fresh Pahadi greens, Mandua rotis, and pure Himalayan river water.

100% Pet-Friendly Freedom

Fenced garden perimeters allow companion dogs to run freely off-leash across the lawns without restrictive cages or judgment from other hotel guests.

Total Valley Acoustic Silence

Tucked into the Thaplia valley basin, guests enjoy zero vehicle noise or tour bus disturbances, just bird song and wind rustling through deodar trees.

“A place we will always come back to ❤️. We came to Ethnic Trail with our 6-month-old baby looking for a quiet break, and somehow found a place that felt like home. Morning clouds running beside us during storms, peaceful surroundings, home-like food, lovely dogs, books in the living room, and kind hosts. Small acts like these say so much about the people behind a place. This didn't feel like staying at a hotel—it felt like being welcomed into someone's home.”

“Hotel Ethnic Trail is a beautiful homestay located in a valley in Naukuchiatal. Quite separated from the road so your peace won't be disturbed by traffic. Warm lighting with wooden furniture, geysers for 24x7 hot water, connected living area with books, and a big garden with a shaded dining area surrounded by a mini pond. The caretakers Santosh and Neetu were friendly and cook some of the most delicious food I have eaten! 5+ star experience.”

“We often take road trips with our pet GSD, and locating a spot that genuinely accommodates everyone has consistently been a struggle. Ethnic Trail Homestay ended up being everything we hoped for and beyond! The host and his family were exceptionally welcoming. Their cocker spaniel and indie warmly welcomed our boy. Homemade meals were rich in genuine flavours. Unforgettable experience!”
